Useful Info

Giant orange brains are dangerous evil casters which can summon brutal monsters, feed on your intellect, or confuse you. While not too intimidating on their own, they can create powerful reinforcements quickly.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use a source of clarity and try to kill them as quickly as possible to avoid a summoning spree. They aren't too durable, so a few high-powered Conjurations should take them out, but melee fighters may wish to lure them around a corner to avoid a dangerous charge into melee range.
  • Freezing Cloud works well, allowing you to kill them without staying in their LOS any longer than necessary.
  • If you lack Mass Abjuration, be prepared to run if their summons start getting overwhelming.

History

Prior to 0.14, giant orange brains knew Confuse in place of Mass Confusion.
